Product History:

Speaker Specifications

Series

This is the manufacturer product line of speakers.

GT6 (JBL)

Priced Per

Car Speakers are typically sold in pairs so you will receive 2 speakers for each speaker purchase on speakers marked "Priced Per Pair".
If a speaker is marked "Priced Per Each" then the speaker is sold individually and each purchase you make will result in 1 speaker. High-powered tweeters, midrange and full-range pro audio for car speakers are typically sold per each speaker.

Pair

Speaker Size

Refers to the size of the speaker measured in inches. Every vehicle has standard application sizes. Please use our vehicle fitment guide for your vehicle's specific speaker sizes if you do not know them.

6" x 9"

Design

The number of individual drivers in a car speaker. Speakers with 2 drivers are known as a 2-way, and 3 drivers are known as a 3-way. Component systems are often referred to as "separates" because the tweeter is not attached to the midwoofer (main speaker driver) and mounts separately in a location such as a door post. Component systems typically come with an external crossover so you can easily adjust the high and low frequencies sent to both the midwoofer and the tweeter. Center channel speakers are great for those looking to have surround sound in their vehicle.

2-way

Tweeter Design

Designs such as cone, dome, semi-dome, balanced dome, and whizzer are most popular. Cone tweeters are simple, efficient and typically are the most reasonably priced. Dome tweeters are used in most home speakers, and provide a smoother and more accurate sound. Semi-dome design is one with a dome placed inside a cone. A Balanced dome driver is a semi-dome with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the driver. A whizzer tweeter is a separate tweeter cone driven by the voice coil of the woofer.

Dome

Tweeter Composition

Materials such as polypropylene, silk, cloth, and paper are the most common, where as many more recent tweeters are now manufactured with composites such as Aluminum, Titanium, Mylar, and other materials.

PEI is an acronym for "Polyetherimide" which is an amorphous, amber transparent, high-performance thermoplastic.

Titanium

Woofer Composition

Lightweight woofer cone materials are essential for efficient operation. Poly cones produce exceptional sound and are sturdy against various changes in temperature. Paper cones are very efficient, and when treated for moisture resistance, will perform at a high level. Poly refers to polypropylene, which is thermoplastic or fibers that are polymers of propylene. IMPP refers to injection molded polypropylene, a commonly used process and material in speakers.

Polypropylene

Woofer Surround

A speakers surround is part of the suspension system. The surround protects the cone and prevents it from being displaced as it flexes out from the basket. It is usually made of a durable material like treated foam or rubber in order to withstand the strenuous job of producing bass frequencies.

Foam

Peak Power Handling

Peak power handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle during a brief musical burst. The RMS power range figure is a much more reliable rating for determining the speaker's power requirements. The Peak power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.

210 watts

RMS Power Handling

The RMS power is the amount of power the speaker requires to operate safely and properly. RMS Power Handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle on a continuous basis. We recommend powering your speakers or subwoofer with 80%-120% of its recommended RMS rating. The RMS power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.

70 watts

Sensitivity

An efficiency or sensitivity rating tells you how effectively a speaker converts power into sound. The higher the number, the more efficient the speaker and the louder it will play with the same input power. An efficient speaker helps you maximize your available power. Most sensitivity ratings measure the speaker's output with 1 watt of input, 1 meter from the speaker. Some speakers' sensitivity is measured with 2.83 volts of input, instead of 1 watt.
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".

94 dB

Frequency Response

The range of frequencies the speaker will reproduce (lowest frequency to the highest). Bigger is better, meaning the wider the range, the better. The optimal range is 20 - 20,000 Hz (which is the range of human hearing).

40 - 20000 Hz

Impedance (Per Voice Coil)

The load value (in ohms) that the speakers present to the amplifier per voice coil - the amount of resistance to the current flow. This is a key specification as subs wired in parallel or low impedances can create problems with your amplifier and potentially void all warranties. We encourage you to ask our support department prior to purchase if you do not understand which impedance level will suit your application best.

4 ohms

Top-Mount Depth

The depth when installed on top of the mounting surface. Measured from the bottom of the speaker's magnet to the bottom of the mounting holes on the rim of the speaker.

2-15/16"

Cutout Dimensions

Refers to the dimensions of the hole, measured in inches or millimeters, required to contain the speaker.

9-1/4 x 6-1/2

Hi-Res Audio Compatible

This feature refers to if the product is capable of Hi-Res Audio (HRA) playback.

Speaker Grilles

A grating or screen of metal or plastic bars or wires, mounted in front of a speaker as protection. If yes, the speakers will include matching speaker grilles. If no, there are no grilles included.

Yes

Number of Speakers

This is the number of speaker that is included in the package. Each purchase will result in receiving the number of speakers indicated here. Please note that some items will have multiple woofers in the same enclosure. For sets of component speakers, this number will refer to the number of sets of speakers (For example, 2 would indicate the purchase includes 2 woofers and 2 tweeters).

Please refer to the product image and description for further details about the speaker.

This product was bought on black friday online. It was a great deal and have not seen it that cheep since! These speakers have GREAT bass response and sound awesome in my car. I installed them on a 1996 ford Thunderbird... The thunderbird is not ment for 6x9s but with a lot of metal cutting (dont reccomend, just buy 5x7s) it was worth the time. I would buy this product again for a different car in the future, mids and highs are clear with no distortion!

I've had these speakers hooked up to a quality Kicker amp in my Talon for several weeks now, and I'm a very satisfied customer. For the price and the quality that JBL brings, you can't go wrong. Ultra clear sound that's almost scary loud in a compact car. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for big sound at a small price.

These speakers were an exceptional upgrade over my factory speakers. Even without an amp they really scream. Coupled with my shallow mount p3 Rockford fosgate 12's under the back seat of my 2014 ram they're awesome. Don't even hesitate to purchase especially for the price

I recently purchased these jbl 6x9s. I use them in my work truck and I am amazed at the quality for the price. I have been curios about jbl for a long time and I'm not disappointed! I'm running them off my head unit and they are clear and loud. The bass is clean and undistorted and the tweeters don't run together at high volumes. I would definitely recommend to anyone who asks!

Replaced Infinity 6x9s that were to large for the door panels in my 2013 Ram Express. These fit perfect with no modification and even with the smaller magnet, they kick just as good and with good highs with the JL amp. Can't beat these for the price.
